One of the earliest stories that established the Mortal Kombat universe was the relationship between Jax and Kano. Jax, a special forces agent, was hot on the trail of career criminal Kano, when he was led into the Mortal Kombat tournament. Kano represented the criminal underworld and Mortal Kombat was a supernatural event that caused all of these things to collide. But, we've only hinted at their shaded past. Lt. Sonya Blade and Kano disappear after the first tournament. Jax takes a risky rescue mission to the Outworld. He must save partner Sonya and stop Kano once for all.
